The Waukegan Community Development Committee voted to adopt an ordinance granting a conditional use permit for a daycare center at 1995 North Green Bay Road (zoning calendar 2801).

The owner-applicant told the committee the facility will accommodate about 50 children and will use three attached buildings on the site. Staff told the committee the applicant has an agreement with the neighboring property to the north to share spaces for pickup and drop-off, and that the on-site parking lot contains about 20 spaces with four spaces designated for the fenced playground area. Committee members asked whether the site is in a commercial area and how peak arrival and departure would be managed; the applicant said school-aged children would typically be in school during daytime hours and that shared parking and staggered pickup should mitigate congestion.

Alderman Donnerworth moved the ordinance and Alderman Martinez seconded; a roll call recorded aye votes and the motion carried.

The committee did not record a condition beyond the shared-parking agreement; staff said parking concerns had been addressed at the staff level.
